Xylitol Peppermint Mints

Bad breath. We all have it at one time or another, but no one wants it. A simple mint can help take care of a sour mouth; but most mints also cover your mouth in sugar, which only leads to more bad breath down the road. New Nature’s Sweet Life Xylitol Mints are made with all-natural xylitol, so you can have fresh breath and help protect your teeth at the same time!

Benefits
• Promotes oral health.
• Freshens breath.

How It Works
Eating Xylitol Mints after a meal or between meals helps promote dental health. It increases the production of saliva, which helps wash food particles and tooth damaging acids from the mouth. Regular use of xylitol has been shown to improve oral health.

Scientific Support
Unlike most sugar molecules that have a six-carbon“hexose” unit, xylitol is a five-carbon “pentitol” sugar. Thanks to its distinctive structure, bacteria cannot utilize xylitol for energy. Its chemical configuration also inhibits the body's’ ability to fully metabolize it, making it the perfect sweetener for those concerned with blood sugar balance.

Xylitol has also been shown to improve dental health. Decades of scientific research and over 1,500 papers have confirmed it. Lactic acid, the most damaging acid for your teeth, is formed by the fermentation of sugar by bacteria. Bacteria cannot ferment xylitol, which results in less tooth-destroying acid and promotes an inhospitable environment for unwanted microorganisms.

Ingredients
Peppermint mints contain xylitol, calcium lactate, magnesium stearate, gum Arabic, natural flavor from peppermint oil, glazing agent and beeswax.

Recommended Use
Use after or between meals to freshen breath and promote dental health.
